Oh Lisa you know me so well and I score 100 percent on this one.I love all of it and now you have me thinking of other romantic images, such as heading out early morning with a french easel to spend a morning painting outdoors, new yarn and my sketch pad with a new design for knitting a sweater, a basket of apples, waiting to be baked, heading out at dawn to pick mushrooms ...such funWishing you a week of gladness and romance

Have never commented here, but had to with this quiz. I was spot on in every one...well, perhaps not with the historical jewelry one, but still...loved it. Thanks for going to such trouble for our enjoyment! :)

98%....I cannot manage anything in front of my eyes. I constantly swipe my bangs away...so I do not think a veil would do for me. But give me a pair of rose colored glasses and I am fine! We live in a 1911 house and I cannot bring myself to fix the original front steps.....they are cracked and breaking apart, but new ones would just not do. Now if I could just de-noise the leaf blowers, our neighborhood would be perfection....especially in the Fall when our tunnel of elms turns golden.Romance....YES!

Hello Lisa, I'm so glad I stopped by! You have captured being a Romantic perfectly with this quiz, it was such fun and I scored 100%! The beautiful photographs reminded me of all the things I love.Jane xps. I once entered a flower arranging competition, using Herrick's poem as a theme.. I did NOT win.....

Yes to all of it. A rainy day with the a good book and a pot of tea. Happiness. Also the Crueset bubbling on the stove for the evening meal. And the patina of a house, evidence of lives lived there. We just visited the Denis Severs house in London on your recommendation. A living, breathing still life every where I looked. Let's throw in a production of "Much Ado About Nothing" at Shakespeare's Globe theatre in London. I was transported by the history and the language. Yes I am a 21st Century romantic.

... and the immense sulk that you fall into after watching Howard's End/ Gosford Park/ Downton Abbey for the tenth time and realize that the world around you is not one Edwardian long tea party...but at least we have your blog to indulge in!

I don't mind you using my photo and indeed I am flattered that you like it, but would you be so kind as to put a proper credit on your blog saying where it comes from as it is my copyright. Kind regards, Joanna @ Zeb Bakes

I read your blog all the time, and love all your photographs, videos, artwork and writing, but this is the first time I've ever commented. Today's entry is my favorite. You have made my day by invoking all those wonderful, wonderful pleasures. Well done!!~Jenny

Tonight on British television- Channel 4 ( was a brilliant programme on Charleston the farmhouse and details of a forthcoming exhibition entitled' Radical Bloomsbury'A wonderful oil portrait of Vanessa and Virginia's mother in a red dress has been taken out of storage at Brighton museum and framed for this exhibition. I hope you are able catch the programme online at 4OD (channel 4 on demand) in California. You'll love it!

I've also loved your blog for awhile and never commented, but this- well,it made my day! Here I was having a day where I felt misunderstood and out of sorts and lamenting the current trends (my toddler needs to be "prepared" for Pre-K? Honestly? Like I should be concerned he isn't writing his letters?) Then my son quoted Shakespeare in his bath (from a London community production on dvd, but still) and I got my family to bed and myself a cup of tea and this post made me realize I am not alone in my tastes at all!

I am afraid I belong to "the club" - is it viral???I cannot get over the books in the kitchen.....gorgeous!! and I must take out my grandma's hats to have a try at looking at life through a net....how simply delicious!!

spot on! I would normally cringe or have a vein twitch when someone associates me with the word 'romantic'... but if you put being 'romantic' in a manner that you just listed above; then I don't mind being one at all :D

I suppose the idea of being romantic evolves over time. The side of romanticism that I dislike is the part about falling in love and giving up everything for one person or believing love-at-first-sight. Having strong feminist inclinations and being around alpha female figures like my mum and my aunts, I was never one to be the damsel-in-distress.

What I love with the author's elaboration on being a 21st century romantic is it focus on the lifestyle and one's view in life--what makes us feel at home in this turbulent and increasingly stressful world. It is not just about love life anymore (thank God!); but being productive and self-sufficient and of course, in a romantic relationship with the quaint and essential joys in life.

:DA lot of the things applied to me (though I would prefer to have tea instead of coffee). The part about the dressing gown is especially true with me (as I'm wearing one right now).

This was so nice. I wonder what she's going to come up with next time? /though if it's about classic English Literature I won't be able to relate too much (I know more about Japanese literature)/ :)

Guilty of 100%. What a fun quiz. Nice to know I'm not the only 'weird' one in the world. My children constantly tell me that I was born 100 years too late.

I designed and built a house to look old, and when it came time to lay down the antique heart pine floors, I told my contractor not to put in too many nails. I wanted it to squeak. You should have seen the look of incredulity he gave me. I got a lot of those during the six months it took to build. But I knew what would make me happy, and it does ever so much.

I think we were all separated at birth...at least we've found each other in the land of blog...and can act, think, dream, and revel accordingly. I'd love to try a bit of netting...long past overdue as a fashion comeback I think!100%...xo J~

particularly this line: A dark morning, a quiet house, a bubbling pot of coffee and some reading material are enough to send your heart into spasms of delight.

ah, yes.

and especially when walking to the newsstand at the end of our block in soho, nyc and seeing the small pile of financial times and realizing there's a gorgeous glossy supplement due to the thickness of the stack......bliss.

I of course answered yes to everything, and I a romantic in every way I like though books hidden as people steal them, and I like to keep them. I especially water my flowers in ridiculous costumes, wear net on my face at every opportunity, dream of men in Japanese dressing gowns, and love Lavender and ancient roses. I like the children of Elizabeth 1st, yes she had a few...I like to dream of Elizabethan England and the court of Versailles.. You know I do.. Love you AMANDA
